CHARLIE Adam believes Liverpool can take advantage of having so many set-piece experts at the club.

Adam arrived at Anfield with a reputation for striking a dead ball with accuracy and quality but he recognises that there is real competition at the club to take penalties, free-kicks and corners.

The Scot knows Kenny Dalglish's men can capitalise on that depth of talent to help win big games.

“We’ve got lots of top players who can put the ball through the eye of a needle,” said Adam in an exclusive interview with LFC magazine this week. “It’s who’s confident on the day.

“It’s just important that we make the most of any [set-pieces] we get because they can often be the difference between winning and losing, especially in tight games.

“Hopefully we can score a lot of goals from them over the season. That can only help us to do better.”

Adam has been a regular in the starting line-up since joining us from Blackpool. Despite this, he knows he can't rest on his laurels with lots of quality players waiting to take his place.

“There are top international players in every position here. It means you know you have a battle just to get your place. As a footballer that’s what you want, big challenges and hopefully I can keep challenging for a place.

“When you get a chance to come to a club like this it’s the reward for all the years of hard work you’ve put in. Then when you get here you can’t rest on your laurels. I don’t want to just be here. I want to continue working hard, stay in the team and perform as well as I can.”
